Neighbour thwarts burglars

An attempted burglary in Withyam Road was thwarted by a member of the public who immediately informed Sussex Police.

The caller saw two young males acting suspiciously at a nearby property on Monday afternoon around 2.45pm.

They were in their early 20's and both were white, and they were seen hanging around the house for ten minutes before claiming to the neighbour they must have got the wrong address and driving off in an electric blue small car.
